Observations

 1.  How should the Maricopa County audit business with the 2020 vote be handled?

Those holding control have a state job where they swore an oath to the state laws and constitution.  The minute they show some tendency not to obey either....I'd dismiss them and let security drag them out of the building.  No if's or waivers....just cut them loose.

2.  The idea of just releasing inmates (like California is doing)?

I wouldn't mind if the guy went on a straight and narrow path after that.  But the odds of this?  Probably just one guy out of ten will get that map and walk a straight path. 

3.  A Texas company trying to hire up truck drivers for $14 an hour? 

Well....I wish them luck but other than finding a former inmate of a California prison, I just don't see this going far.  You'd have to start at around $20 an hour.

4.  On the downside of vaccinations?

I would suggest in most states....the peak has already occurred.  The fact that folks in Alabama are presently ONLY at the 24.5-percent point (full vaccinated)?  Well....I might go and suggest that by the mid-point of June....at 35-percent, the governor says it's 'done'.

I'd suggest the same for Nevada, who sits at 30-percent vaccinated.....they might also suggest done by mid-June...at 45-percent.

Should we worry about it?  No.  I'd still rate living in Florida during hurricane season or getting involved with a 50-year old honky-tonk gal as a bigger risk in life.  

5.  Are we done with all Hunter Biden scandals?  

No.  Just a reasonable guess....he's probably burning every bit of patience left in him....staying out of trouble right now.

6.  This FDA mandate that you need to put symbology on food to 'save' us from eating bad foods?

Really?  I mean.....a 'skull and crossbones' on a Twinky? That would change me around to NOT buy the Twinky?  Are you that stupid?

7.  The truth about Albert Pujols being released by the California Angels?

Well.....we will never know the truth.  But there is this speculation that around age 31 when he signed this 10-year contract....that he might have been two or three years older than the truth.  Crazy?  Well....most all players in MLB go into a downward trend around age 35 to 37.  Pujols was already starting that trend in the first year with the Angels.  

8.  Hungary dumping all income taxes for anyone under the age of 25?

Yes.  You start paying at age 26.  The idea is that you will get serious with the extra income....marry up....and have kids early.  In fact, they are hoping you have two or three kids by that point.  

9.  The odds that border states will go massively for Republicans in 2022?

Oh, I'd say that's about a 90-percent chance. I wouldn't even bother sending Democratic candidates in these states any funds...it's a waste.  All this border crisis business being a 'red-flashing' light?  Yep, and it's all going back to Joe Biden.  

Why Aren't There 'Woke' Debates?

 There's probably a thousand questions in my mind (continually) which are unanswerable (examples: is there a color for a mirror, or why hopeless romantics are usually single for their entire life, or is Brittney Spears crazy-crazy or just a person addicted to doing crazy stuff).  

Someone in the past week or two brought up the question....why aren't there 'woke' debates.  It's a good question, but there is no true answer.

Typically, a guy/gal who says they are 'woke'....then gets drawn to a debate over their 'woke' feeling....doesn't really want to discuss the wokeness, the draw to the agenda, or explain themselves.  It reminds one in various ways of people who are cult-members but never want to explain why.

Is there a rehab for woke folks?  As far as I know....no clinic has diagnosed it as a 'problem' or started up a rehab program for folks in this situation.  

A 'recovering' woke person?  There's probably hundreds of thousands....but most probably don't want to admit they got woke, because it's pretty silly to admit this.

As for debating things?  Usually, in business, science and philosophy....debate is helpful and helps to move some idea forward or identify the idea as pretty lame.  

So this is all useless?  I would suggest that merely offering up a coffee to a woke guy/gal....to talk over the Braves pitching staff, or transmission problems, or the useless sport factor of golf....ought to be attempted, with the intent to start a drifting conversation on other topics.  Then thirty minutes into this 'talk'....the woke-guy will suddenly realize that you got him deep into defending his sacred woke-pattern, and he can't defend it.  

I'm not saying you ought to be sneaky.....but you might find this tactic to be something to deprogram the poor individual and bring them back to reality.

Dossier Number Two?

 This week, we learned that the secret-agent team over in the UK....produced up a second Donald Trump Dossier.  This one....is supposed to be everything that happened once he became President, and has juicy Russian-slut stories, etc....well...that's the hint.

The odds that the secret-agent crew is producing DT-Dossier number three for November 2024's election, and has a agent or two working on DT-Dossier number four for the period after the election?

At some point, you start to lose respect for the secret-agent crowd and feel like they ought to stick with Tom Cruise movie-script ideas, or hire themselves out to the Iranians for steady checks.

The fact that decent newspapers fall into the dossier-pit and try to hype secret-agent theories?  Well...these are the same newspapers that failed to discuss Hunter Biden or any of his antics....so you don't really put much trust in their marginal reporting.  

As for the KGB guys feeding these idiots the fake stories?  They go back to the local Moscow pub and laugh over how stupid the Brit secret-agent guys are, and that they generally believe anything they are told.  

Just Another Thing To Worry About

 Daily Caller made the topic into a 40-line story.

An estimate occurred (so it's not truly factual)....but the folks at Bellwether Education Partners says in their summary....around three million school-kids across the US....just plain stopped going to classes (virtual or in person) as the Covid era started up.

They didn't break them up into age groups or go state by state (would have been nice to know that).

The odds that they will return?  How would you 'herd' them back into the system, and are they more than 1-year behind?

Do we really need a bunch (2-to-3 million) of burger-flippers?

Another curious question to ask.....what exactly did the 3-million 'kids' do for the past 16 months?  Did they hang out at malls?  Did they master video games?  Did the older 'kids' become involved in romantic relationships?  Did they mostly sit and play 'fetch' with the family dog?  Did they 'weed-up'?

For some reason, I think we have a pretty dynamic problem brewing and it's going to be fairly serious over the next three or four years.

Just a Weird Thing

 This morning, I picked up reading Pentagon news, and there is this one odd story.  The Pentagon IG (Inspector General) stood up said to all agencies and organizations under it.....they want to know who is investigating UFO reports and how they are conducting these investigations.

Typically, IG's are around to pursue criminal behavior or perceived criminal behavior.  So, to me.....this has a funny smell to it. 

What are they looking for?  It's anyone's guess.

My humble feeling is that they want to know each organization which has a focus or action going on.  Once this picture is clear....some business analyst is going to draw the scheme on a board.  Suggesting there might 20-odd organizations focused on this and not talking to each other?  Yeah, that's my gut feeling.

You might have 20 organizations with ultra secret budgets and agendas.....not grasping that they each only have 5-percent of the total picture.

The possibility that all twenty will be drawn into a room, with the Secretary of Defense telling nineteen of them that their budgets and mission are ended?  I'd go and suggest it's very possible. 

The possibility that the Navy and Air Force each hold five UFOs in some secret facility and not grasp what each has?  That's a possibility as well.

So here's the thing....all of this data is due by 25 June, and I'd suggest that the IG will spend all of July and August discussing matters.  By early September?  Crap is going to hit the fan....with a lot of evidence put on the table.  

A Kid Has 4,380 Days That Matters

 It's a rather old expression but it fits....'times a wasting'.  

As a kid, on day one of school (first grade)....the clock is ticking.  You've got 4,380 days before the basic school business ends.  

Everyday you waste.....every day that you skip school....every day that you are in some juvenile detention center....every day you spend in some mental health unit....every day you spend worrying about your status in life....every day matters.

Kids don't realize....nor do they care.  Maybe around day 4,000....they kinda wake up and start to pause over the future....trying to imagine another 1,000 days beyond day 4,380.

The 500-odd days utilized on trans-kids?  Wasted time.  It's 500-odd days where your priority of growing up, getting educated, or maturing....is dumped down several notches.

The 500-odd days used on juvenile detention, school troubles, or in some youth-offender camp?  Wasted time. 

I know for a 8-year old kid....4,380 days can't be seen as a reality....but somewhere around age 11 or 12.....this is a talk that you need to have with the kid.  Time is passing and you won't get a 'remake' on lost days.  

Why Cashflow Matters?

 Lets say you line up a thousand business operations, and you ask them....how much cash is flowing through their business, and you reach a magic number of 'X'.

Weeks, months and years pass. 

Now you assemble the thousand business operations and ask about 'X', and it's just not the same as it was twenty to thirty years ago.

Fewer trips, fewer vacations, fewer boats sold, fewer motorcycles, fewer quad-bikes, fewer couches, fewer renovations, fewer second vacation residences, fewer 'toys'.  

What you start to notice...back in the 1990s as college debt started up....people found themselves in a dilemma and they couldn't get the 'toys'.  

Same issue.....1990s....credit debt creeped up and while they made up for the college debt situation by having plenty of card-cash.....they eventually reached a point where the credit cards were maxed out.  At this point, they were paying $700 a month....to just keep the debt contained.  If they wanted to ease the credit card downwards....they needed to make a $1000 payment month, and that kept 'toys' to a minimum.

The guys who avoided college debt and credit card debt?  They survived, and for the most part....they kept buying 'toys' and keeping the economy appearing 'safe' and secure.  It was the wrong way of looking at it....but hey....that's life. 

So presently, with Covid, and serious Fed use of free-money.....are we in a cash-flow mess?  More or less.

It's presently reached the point where some banks don't even want to do business with small business operators....because there's simply not enough business to pay for the services or expectations of the bank.

So you might turn at this point and suggest something stupid....like let's pay off the $80k college debt of these foolish folks.  Where would the $80k of rescue money come from?  Well....printed cash from the Fed....of course.

Getting deeper into pit? More or less.
